Synthes 206.012 4.0MM Cancellous Bone Screw Fully Threaded 12mm

Synthes 4.0mm Cancellous Bone Screw | Fully Threaded | 12mm Length | 206.012

The Synthes 206.012 is a precision-engineered internal fixation screw designed specifically for use in cancellous (spongy) bone. As a 4.0mm diameter screw with a fully threaded profile, it is optimized for applications where maximum thread-to-bone contact is required to maintain stable fixation. The 12mm length makes it an essential component for the fixation of small bone fragments, particularly in the metaphyseal areas of long bones or within the carpal and tarsal bones.

Manufactured from high-grade surgical stainless steel, this screw features deep, widely spaced threads that provide superior pull-out resistance in less dense bone structures compared to cortical screws.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Optimized Cancellous Geometry: The deep thread design is specifically engineered to "grip" the porous architecture of cancellous bone. The fully threaded profile ensures that the screw engages the bone along its entire 12mm length, distributing compressive forces evenly.

• Superior Pull-out Resistance: By maximizing the surface area of the thread-bone interface, the 206.012 provides a high degree of stability, which is critical in preventing fragment displacement during the early stages of bone healing.

• Low-Profile Head Design: The screw head is designed to sit flush or slightly recessed against the bone surface (or within a plate), minimizing soft-tissue irritation and the need for future hardware removal.

• Hexagonal Drive Precision: The 2.5mm hexagonal socket ensures high torque transmission while reducing the risk of "stripping" the screw head during final tightening or subsequent removal.

• Self-Tapping Capability: While a 2.5mm pilot hole is standard, the sharp flute at the tip allows the screw to cut its own path into the cancellous matrix, simplifying the operative workflow.

Applications

• Trauma Surgery: Fixation of small bone fragments in periarticular fractures (e.g., radial head, malleolar, or calcaneal fractures).

• Hand & Foot Surgery: Intercarpal or intertarsal fusions and osteotomy fixations.

• Pediatric Orthopedics: Stabilization of epiphyseal or metaphyseal fractures where space is limited.

• Plate Fixation: Can be used as a standalone lag screw or through a Synthes small fragment plate (e.g., 3.5mm LCP or DCP systems).
